    Description: This study was undertaken to observe the clinical changes associated with the dietary ascorbic acid supplementation in the diet of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, using the presence or absence of scorbutic (ascorbic acid deficiency) symptoms as indices. Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (6.02~c 04g) were randomly distributed into glass tanks of 60 x 45 x 45cm3 dimension at ten fish per tank in a triplicate treatment. Five diets containing 40% crude protein was formulated. Ascorbic acid (AA) was supplemented in the diets as ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a mixture of phosphate esters of ascorbate). Each treatment had varying levels of ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation, at 0 (Control) 50, 100, 150 and 200mg AA/kg, in Treatments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Fish were fed practical diets twice daily at 900hrs and 1600hrs. Weekly weighing of fish was done and data collected were subjected to statistical analysis. At the end of week 4, fish fed scorbutic diets (diets without Ascorbic acid) had significantly lower weight than fish fed AA supplemented diets (P〈0.05). After week 6, fish fed scorbutic diet began to develop clinical symptoms including lordosis (lateral curvature), broken skull, pigmentation and scoliosis (vertical curvature). Radiographs confirmed defects in the vertebral columns of fish in this treatment. Highest mortality was recorded in this treatment as 30%, In all parameters considered, treatment 4 fed 150mg AA/kg gave the best AA supplementation that prevented growth reduction and clinical signs of AA deficiency.

    Description: Research was carried out to explore the fish species diversity and study some aspects of the biology of fish of Daberam reservoir, Katsina state, Nigeria, for a period of three month from March to May 2009. Samples were collected from commercial fishermen and experimental fishing gears, preserved in formalin and taken to laboratory for identification; confirmation was done by fisheries experts. Eight genus comprising ten species were identified. The regression coefficient (b) was 3.07, 2.91 and 3.21 for the three most commercially importance species in the reservoir i.e. Oreochromis niloticus, and Clarias gariepinus respectively which indicated Positive allometric growth for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus and negative allometric growth for T. nilotica. The mean condition factor (k) was 1.140, with values of 1.027and 0.732 for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus, respectively. This indicates that the fish are not leaving well compared to other freshwater fishes.

    Description: Studies on the food and feeding habit of T. fuscatus var fuscatus from the mangrove swamps of the Bonny River, Niger Delta revealed that the species is a deposit feeder but fed more on algae and protozoa. The variation of food types with season were determined from the numerical and frequency of occurrence methods of food analysis. The algae were of Stephanodiscus, Cosanodiscus. Navicula and Nitzschia species, while the protozoa were Arecella arenaria, Pseudodileptus and Trinema species. Feeding actively occurred at low tides, this coincided with the presence of algae on the mud surface. No qualitative seasonal variation occurred as T. fuscatus var fuscatus fed basically on the primary diets at all seasons.

    Description: The evaluation of Cr. Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn,As and Pb concentrations in Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus from Lake Geriyo Yola,Adamawa, Nigeria using X - ray fluorescence (XRF) technique is discussed. The analytical samples are irradiated with high energy electrons of 109Cd to produce fluorescent X-rays was produced which passes to the Silicon-lithium detector through Mo target as a source of monochromatic X-rays. The spectrum of energy generated on the detector was processed by a Multi- Channel Analyzer to obtain analytical data. The intensity of the fluorescent X-rays on the detector is proportional to the concentration of the individual element of interest in the sample. This method can identify up to 30 or more elements at the same time. The results showed varying levels of heavy metals in the fishes. The concentrations of Cr, Mn, Cu, and Ni in the fishes were much higher than WHO and PEPA maximum permissible limits, while the concentrations of Zn and Pb were lower than the standards. The results suggest that the lake is polluted with Cr, Mn, Cu and Ni and the consumption of fishes of the lake is life threatening to man.

    Description: This paper examines the role of middlemen in the marketing of smoked fish in Doron Baga fish market of Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. Data were obtained from 200 respondents using stratified random sampling technique, with the aid of structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. Secondary sources of information were also gathered from research papers, reports and journals. The study revealed that, there are two types of middlemen in the Doron Baga fish market: selling brokers (Dillali) accounting for 75% and buying brokers (Yan acha) 25%. The role played by the selling brokers includes selling for the fishermen with commission, lending money to fishermen and providing security for the unsold fish. Buying brokers assist those that want to buy fish while the buyer gives them little amount of money as commission. Brokers get more clients when the fish during periods of maximum catch. The problems the middlemen face are failure of the fishermen to pay back the money borrowed from the selling brokers while buyers hardly trust the buying brokers.

    Description: A study of the capture fisheries of Kontagora Reservoir was carried out between January - December, 2007, using statistical frame and catch assessment survey methods. Five fish families comprising seven fish species were recorded. Hemichromis fasdatus, a cichlid was the most dominant species with mean value of 414.3 and 7715Kg in terms of number and weight respectively. Nineteen commercial fishermen were recorded, with the following fishing gears: gill net, cast nets, long lines, and Malian traps. The fishing craft included wooden canoe. The total mean catch of the fishermen were 4.40(1.36) kg/canoe or 167(52.64) fishes/canoe. The reservoir was productive in comparison with other smaller but productive African lakes. The monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) system was suggested for management consideration, with emphasis on registration of fishermen and their fishing equipment, enforcement of minimum mesh size of 3” and establishment of community based cooperative scheme.

    Description: Three soil sample media (loamy, sandy and clayey) were used to culture earthworm, (Eudrilus eugeniae (Kinberg) in earthenware pots for ten weeks, under laboratory conditions. The aims of the research are to culture earthworms as replacement for fish meal, and to determine the best suitable soil medium for culturing and breeding of earthworms. Two sets of treatments were set up with the three soil samples; the experimental containing organic matter (cow dung) and the controls lacking organic matter. Watering was done every three days to keep the culture moistened. but not saturated. Results of the study showed that loamy soil had the highest number of earthworms harvested, followed by sandy and then clayey soil. Increase in number of harvested earthworms between the experimental and control groups differ significantly (P〈 O.05), with the experimental group having higher number of harvested earthworms. Loamy soil was the most favourable medium that enhanced the growth and survival of earthworms, when cultured under laboratory conditions, for fish meal replacement in aquaculture.

    Description: Ekiti State has limited water surface area but blessed with some rivers and seven big reservoirs on which some artisanal fishery is being carried out by over 400 fisher folks. Fish farming in Ekiti state is largely dominated by Clarias gariepinus culture. Interest in fish farming is on the increase as farmers construct concrete fish tanks as small as 1.5m2 as well as series of contour earthen ponds or tanks as big as 30m2. The total number of ponds has grown numerically from 96 at the inception of the state in 1996 to about 2000 in 2008. The move towards private/public partnership in aquaculture development will improve the economic and nutritional status of the region.

    Description: Sustainability in the extraction of fishery resource need to be proactively upheld if the achichment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will be anything to go by in Nigeria and other developing countries. The fishery resource, of the biotic component of the environment, and the main focus of this paper, is renewable resource whose existence if not for adverse environmental factors and natural specialization that occurs over thousands of years, is a continuum. The biological attributes of these fauna and flora render them amenable to usage in manners that still allows their continuous existence for the profit of mankind. Ignorance and the consequent inappropriate harvesting methods and uses of the fishery resource make them prone to abuse, imperilment, and eventual extinction. The influential and important roles of women as fishers, fishmongers. processors, concerned citizens of healthy living and organizers of the end use of the fishery resource put women in a vantage position to influence; thereby, enforcing conservation and sustainability in the extraction of the resource when trained in natural resource management. Consequently, women need to be trained and equipped with knowledge such as basic principles in these areas: biological attributes of the aquatic resources, measures of aquatic resource management, and approaches such as co-management, , communitybased and ecosystem-based approaches to fishery management; including simplified principles embedded within international instruments that form the legal frame work for resource management.

    Description: Vocational training for unemployed youths as fish farmers plays an important role in meeting fish protein need of Nigeria, contributing immensely to the national economy by providing nutritious food for the populace, creating jobs and enhancing national health and wealth. Youths are the leaders of tomorrow thereby their contribution towards food security is important. The study considered their opinion on the training based on skills acquired during a-6-week intensive vocational training. Results show that most trainees (97.03%) are within the economically active age group of 20-39years. Most trainees were confident that the programme will ensure food abundance and have a great impact on national economy. They also considered the training helpful and not only to their immediate families but also to the country at large. Skills were acquired in 8 various enterprises of fisheries but most trainees (43.56%) show greatest interest in fish fingerlings production through induced breeding, a situation that could boost aquaculture in Nigeria in few years to come. According to the trainees, the programme is laudable, and came at the right time when Nigeria is agitating to be put among the economically developed nations. However, youths exercise fear over inconsistency that could impede the progress of the programme. Recommendations are made on how to ensure better food security through a laudable programme of this nature.

It can be found in the wild attached permanently to mangrove trees and any other hard substrate in the water. It thrives well in brackish water with a wide salinity and temperature range. The oyster has a high economic value and is accepted both locally as food. The table sized mangrove oysters sold in markets in Rivers State are from the wild. The culture potential of the oyster is yet to be explored in the State; despite the fact that details of culture techniques for the mangrove oyster have been fully documented by scientists at the African Regional Aquaculture Central Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, (ARACINIOMR). This paper highlights techniques for the production of table sized oyster and environmental issues that could affect long term sustainable oyster farming.

    Description: Commercial shrimp farming has been practised for several decades in many countries of the world over. High demand for shrimps and corresponding high returns on investment has played major roles in the expansion of the industry. In Nigeria, farming shrimps is still novel. Notable research work includes studies conducted at the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, African Regional Aquaculture Centre and Institute of Oceanography, University of Calabar. Niger Delta has potentials for farming shrimps - suitable sites, good candidate shrimp species, high local demand with potentials for export. However the major challenge would be the availability of guidelines to regulate farming activities especially as concerns the use of potentially toxic compounds in shrimp farms which could lead to deleterious effects in the environment. Efficient regulatory bodies/agencies to ensure sustainability of production system and compliance to stipulated guidelines will go a long way in the protection of the environment.

    Description: Nigeria has a coastline of 853km and over 14 million hectares of inland waters and thus owns significant fisheries. The contribution of fisheries to the Nigerian economy is significant in terms of supply of high quality dietary protein, income generation, creation of employment and enhanced inflow of foreign exchange earnings through shrimp export. However, due over-exploitation of the natural resources, by-catch and discard problem, inadequate infrastructure and social amenities development, inadequate supply of fish feed, fish seeds and slow adoption of new technology and management strategies etc. The domestic fish production (0.55 million tons) has fallen short of the demand (1.5million metric tons). Aquaculture development is the solution to the unpredictable production through capture or artisanal/industrial fisheries.

    Description: A model fish smoking kiln was designed and fabricated to use agro-wastes (sawdust, palm kernel shell and rice bran) as alternative to conventionally used charcoal (control) as fuel energy source for smoking fish. Clarias gariepinus was washed, brined and smoked in chunks or whole in the kiln. The smoking kiln has an estimated capacity of 40kg of fish/batch with six fish trays and 36 fish hooks. Heat transfer is by conduction and convection. The rotatory wheel and axle on which the fish drying trays were anchored ensured even distribution of heat. The kiln has 69.4% energy efficiency and drying period of 10 hours at an average temperature range of 60 - 120degreesC, depending on the type of agro-waste used as source of fuel energy. The fuel conversion ratio, drying rates and calorific values of the different agro-waste products were also determined. Calorific value of the four agro-wastes ranged between 16.2MJ/Kg in palm kernel to 30MJ/Kg in charcoal. The drying rates of sawdust and rice bran compare favourably with charcoal and they produced smoked fish similar in dryness and quality with fish smoked with charcoal. Palm kernel had the least drying rate of smoked fish (weight/hour) during the 10-hour smoking duration.

    Description: The aim of this study was to establish the efficacy of formalin in removing the adhesiveness of Clarias gariepinus eggs during artificial propagation and the effects on prospective fry. 1g of catfish eggs were put in five concentrations of formalin \{O.O (control), 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg/l\} at three exposure times (10, 15 or 20min). In each treatment, the detachment of eggs increases with exposure time but were not significantly different (P〉O.05). 0.4mg/1 of formalin had the highest number of detached eggs. At the highest formalin concentration 72% of the eggs still adhered together which provide a good substrate for the growth of fungi. The use of formalin delayed hatching of C. gariepinus eggs when compared with the control. The more the exposure period of C. gariepinus eggs to formalin, the higher the hatching time. Survival of fry was highest in the group that has been exposed to 0.4mg/1 and exposure period of l0min. At the highest concentration (1.0mg/l) and exposure period (20min), the survival was lower by 55.5%. Based on this study, the optimum concentration of formalin was O.4mg/l and exposure period of l0min. for the removal of egg adhesiveness, increase hatching and improved survival success of C. gariepinus.

    Description: This study focused and examined gender issues in economics of fish farming in Maiduguri and its environs. The socio-economic characteristics of the fish farmers were examined. The profitability of the industry and constrains affecting fish farming in the study area were analyzed. Stratified random sampling technique was used due to the heterogeneous nature of the population considering 30% of the fish farmers as the sampled size. Descriptive statistics and net farm income were used to analyse the data obtained. It was revealed that 81.25% of the respondents were male while female fish farmers represented 18.75% of the respondents. 84.40% of the respondents had tertiary education while farmers with secondary certificate and adult education constituted 12.50% and 3.10% respectively. Net farm income profitability analysis of male and female farmers were N193,767:00 and N445,557:00 respectively. It was also observed that the major constraints militating against fish farming in the study area were scarcity of fingerlings, lack of improved technology, inadequate capital, high cost of equipments, lack of land and management difficulties. It was recommended that adequate training, continuous capacity building and improved technology in fish production must be made available to farmers: and farmers should have access to sources of fingerlings.

    Description: The contribution of tilapia aquaculture in Nigeria to world output is negligible due to stunting, poor market value among others. This paper evaluates the aquacultural credentials of tilapia, some genetic improvement technology in cultured tilapia, namely, ploidy, hormonal sex reversal. transgenic, hybridization, and the necessity of Genetic Improvement in accelerating tilapia production in Nigeria. Investigation reveals the presence of O. niloticus with the highest growth perfermancc index (~h1=3.11) for Lake Kanji which indicates high growth potential in suitable culture environment and could serve as a good starting point for genetic development. The presence of ”wesafu”, an ecotype cichlid, endemic to Epe lagoon, Lagos, which grows to 1500g in the wild, appears to be an excellent candidate for genetic improvement of a commercial strain for the growing aquaculture industry. Tilapia Genetic improvement in Nigeria is faced with a number of setbacks. This includes short- term, scattered and disjointed funding, inadequate genetic research facilities, ecological risk, inadequate skilled manpower and poor documentation of tilapia genetic resources among others. Considering the growing importance of tilapia culture, the need to document, conserve, evaluate and utilize tilapia genetic resources is highlighted to enhance the success of food security in Nigeria.

    Description: The variation in size and weight of fry and fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus has been a major factor affecting the success of hatchery production of the species. It encourages cannibalism, thus reducing the overall survival. The disparity in weight and population was assessed to determine the necessity of sorting as a reliable method of controlling size disparity and mortality in hatchery production. Two-week-old fry with average weight of 15mg and length range of 0.8-0.9cm were randomly sampled and stocked at 200 fry/litre in 30 litre circular tanks. The fish were fed for four weeks on 45% crude protein diet, ad libitum. At the end of four weeks, there were three groups; large, medium and small with mean weight of 4.02g, 1.24g and 0.17g, respectively. The cumulative mean weight was 1.8g, population ratio was 1:8:10 for large, medium and small, respectively.

    Description: Hunger and malnutrition have remained amongst the most devastating problems facing the majority of Nigerian poor. These challenges and other social and economic objectives are the main forces driving aquaculture development to augment for food deficient, in particular fish, which is the cheapest source of protein. However looking at the aquaculture potential and the demand for fish, more needs to be done in aquaculture sub-sector. Unfortunately, despite the increase awareness, many people still remain skeptical about returns in aquaculture investment. This backdrop prompted the study, which empirically analyzed the situation based on two (2) semi-concrete ponds at NIFFR. The results which were extrapolated for five years shows a cost benefit ratio of 1.8, which indicated worthy investment. The results would essentially serve as guide to practitioners and intended fish farmers

    Description: There have been considerable efforts in recent years to modify fishing gears and practices to target particular sizes and species of fish (fin and shell) and other marine organisms more efficiently. By catch consideration and gear modification play an important role in regulation of several major fisheries and new by-catch reduction devices and other innovative gear modification are continuously being proposed and tested to mitigate against these problems, among which are the turtle excluder device (T.E.DS) in the shrimp trawls to reduce mortality of endangered sea turtle; sorting grids and scaring device in long line fisheries. This paper assesses the incidence of by catch in fisheries, provides a review of successful developments and application of selective fishing techniques that have been used to achieve by-catch reduction. Recommendations were also made on effective monitoring of fishing gears to ensure that devices aimed at reducing by-catch are included and fishermen use only the appropriate gears to limit by-catch and discards.

    Description: The sustainability of the resources requires much more than paying attention to a single factor, rather looking at it in a holistic manner. Specifically, other economic infrastructure and resources that form the essential components of the fisheries system and fishers livelihood needs to be considered. This to a greater extend will permit choice and mobility of livelihood portfolios, hence reduction in fishing efforts and sustainability of the sector, which eventually translate into development of the sector. However, provision of these facilities are often capital intensive and often left for the government along to provide.

    Description: In this study, two heavy metals in canned tuna fish were determined after digestion by the AOAC methods. Mercury and Cadmium levels in canned tuna fish were determined by flame atomic absorption photometry. The results of this study indicate that canned tuna fish imported into the country have concentrations well below the petmissible FAO/WHO levels for these toxic metals. Their contribution to the body burden can therefore be considered negligible and the fish seem to be safe for human consumption. For the sensory evaluation, tuna flakes in vegetable oil (Starkist) from Ghana and light meat tuna chunks in sunflower oil (John West) from Thailand were the most preferred while tuna flakes in brine (John West) from Thailand is the least preferred.

    Description: Vocational training for unemployed youths plays an important role in solving the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, assisting the teeming unemployed youths to find their footing in society as responsible citizens and for wealth building and creation. Youths as participants are the major actors in appraising the vocational training. The study probed into the activities of these youths during their six weeks stay at the Federal College of Freshwater Fisheries Technology, Baga. Result shows that most trainees (81.19%) were within the age range of 20-29 years. 94.06% were males while 5.94% were females. Desires for self employment made these youths to participate in vocational training as many of them (51.49%) are in total unemployment while the rest are involving in menial jobs. Skills were acquired in 8 different fisheries enterprises and these include Fish production, fish processing technology, fish feed production technology, boat construction, aquarium construction, fish marketing, extension methods and fishing gear construction and maintenance. Most trainees (43.56%) preferred and show enthusiasm for fingerlings production through induced breeding. Trainees were from 41 local government areas in 7 states in the North-east Nigeria. Virtually all participants performed above average, a result that is encouraging if aquaculture must develop and solve unemployment problem. Vocational training has distortions that impede its efficiency.

    Description: This study was carried out to assess microbial quality of smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) treated with citric acid during 5-week storage at room temperature. Raw catfish were subjected to the following treatments for 5 minutes prior to smoking: 1-5% citric acid. The non-treated catfish served as control. The control samples showed diverse and high microbial load. All treated smoked sample were negative for E. coli and Streptococcus sp. and low in their TVC, coliform, staphylococcus and fungi and maintained these low count till the end of the 5th week storage. Treatment with 5% gave the best result but I and 2% citric acid are prefered by the consumers. Treatment with 2% was recommended as an acceptable concentration in preserving smoked catfish due to its effectiveness and acceptance by the consumers.

    Description: The food habits of four species of Muglidae, consisting of Liza grandisquamus, L falcipinus, Mugil curema and , were investigated using the frequency of occurrence and numerical methods of analysis. Also, Relative Gut Length (RGL) of fish specimen measured was calculated from fish gut length. Generally, the food consisted mainly diatoms, blue - green & green algae and detritus. Other food items included annelid, crustacea, nematode, insect parts, dinoflagellates and unidentified organisms. M. curema had the least Species Richness Index (2.827) while L grandisquamus had the highest (4.088). The Shanon - Wiener Diversity Index ranged 0.91 in M. curema to 1.03 in L. falcipinus, while Shanon's Index (HI]) ranged from 2.095 (M. curema) to 2.372(L falcipinus).The male M. bananesis had the least mean RGL of 2.48 ~c 0.17 while female L. falcipinus and L grandisquamus had the highest mean RLG of 3.31 ~c 0.13. The food items observed and the RGL suggest that the muglids studied were herbivorous or omnivorous.

    Description: Finfish and shellfish fauna composition of the old Owena reservoir, established over 46 years old for drinking and domestic use in Akure metropolis, Ondo town and other villages were re-examined in 2008/2009 to assess long-term changes in relation to activities in the catchment which have included, another new reservoir constructed up stream in 2006. The pre-stocking assessment of the fauna of the newly constructed reservoir was determined. The degree of change between years in total abundance, numbers of taxa and community composition varied considerably between the two sites. These observed differences may be related to increased flora cover in the well established old reservoir, while the new reservoir is still empty with only tilapia as the predominant fish without established aquatic plants. Only one species of fresh water gastropod was found and identified in the new reservoir, while two species of gastropods and one bivalve were identified in the old reservoir. They were found in abundance within their standard length size range of OA2. - 12.5cm. A positive correlation (R2=0.9227) was obtained for samples collected from the' old reservoir, those from the new reservoir gave a contrasting value (R2=0.20 1).

    Description: A 70 day experiment was conducted to determine the correct level of inclusion of livestock vitamin premix in the diet of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings and to monitor the utilization efficiency and growth performance of the test fish. 180 fngerlings of C. gariepinus were randomly distributed to six treatments, each weighing 0.76 ~c 0.05g. Thirty fingerlings per treatment were used. Each treatment had varying levels of livestock vitamin premix except the control that had no additional vitamin premix. Weighings of fish were done weekly and feed adjusted accordingly. The data collected were subjected statistically to descriptive and analysis of variance. All the treatments were significantly different from each other and also from the control at (P 〈 0.05). The highest mean weight gain was recorded in treatment 5 (0.910) which had 2% premix inclusion. The carcass analysis showed Ts with the highest crude protein level (64.43%). The highest daily and weekly mean weight gain were recorded in treatment 5; O.013g and 0.130g respectively. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lowest in T1, (2.147). The FCR for T5 (2.535) was insignificantly different (P 〈 0.05) from T1,. The fish feed control had the best FCR. T5 had the best utilization and growth performance when the average weight gain and the carcass crude protein composition and energy were compared. The fat deposited in fingerlings fed T5 were moderately (5.63) lower than treatment 6 with 5.86. It can be concluded that the fish fed treatment 5 will be less fatty than fish fed treatment 6 but more fatty than the fish fed the controls.

    Description: The recent increase in the numbers of fast food vendors in Akure means that large quantities of Irish potato peels will be generated and discarded with high propensity for causing environmental pollution. Also the prize of maize in Akure has increased by about 31 % between January and August 2009. Therefore, the present study evaluated the bio-economic use of Irish potato peels in Nile tilapia diets with a view to achieving environmentally friendly and cost effective fish production. Nile tilapia (29.4 ~c 1.40g) was fed five diets (01-05) in glass tanks for 56 days. The basal diet (01) contained 26% yellow maize and 35% CPO Then the yellow maize in diets 02-05 was replaced with potato peels at 10, 20, 30 and 40% respectively. At the end of the experiment, growth of the fish was statistically the same in all treatments. However, fish fed 03 and 04 showed uniform and best potentials while the fish fed 05 had the worst performance indicating 30% replacement as the optimum. Economic estimation showed that lkg diet costs about (N81.6-N103.6) depending on the level of potato peels inclusion in the diets while (1.12-1.67kg) of fish was produced from each treatment with 85-95% survival rate of the fish. Incidence of cost (IC) showed marginal variations among the treatments with 30% replacement having the least and 40% replacement the highest costs of fish production. 40% replacement had the highest IC because of high mortality (15%) and poor growth of fish under the treatment. Similarly, the profit index (PI) was closely related with 30% replacement having the highest profit margin. In conclusion, both growth and economic indices established that Irish potato peels can replace up to 30% of yellow maize in diets of Nile tilapia

    Description: A feeding trial was conducted for 75 days to determine the effects of feed colours on nutrient utilization and growth in Tilapia zillii fingerlings. Four different food colourant \{Food Drug and Cosmetic (FD and C) colour red, blue, green and yellow\} was added to a basal diet 350g crude protein and 18.5MJ gross energy/kg diet and fed to T. zillii. There were five diets in all, the control (normal light brown commercial diet) (Diet 1), red-coloured diet (Diet 2), and blue-coloured diet( Diet 3), green-coloured diet(Diet 4) and yellow-coloured diet (Diet 5) and fed to triplicate groups of T. zillii at 4% body weight. Ten (10) T. zillii (14.00:t 0.003g) fingerlings were stocked in each concrete tank making a total of 150 fingerlings. The growth performance of the fish fed the yellow-coloured diet (Diet 5) had the best growth performance and nutrient utilization with Feed conversion ratio (FCR) and Specific growth rate (SGR) of 0.031:t0.80 and 1.17:t0.On respectively, this was followed by fish fed green-coloured diet, followed by fish fed red-coloured diet, followed by the fish fed the control diet (normal light brown commercial diet) and lastly, the fish fed blue-coloured diet had the least growth performance.

    Description: Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State is blessed with many rivers, lagoons, tributaries lakes and a very long coastline, of about 180km making the State as a coastal state with the longest coastline in Nigeria. The people are predominantly fishermen. The fish produced from this area could be further boosted through farming of fish especially in cages along the available creeks at not much cost to the inhabitants. This study shows that the waters of the area were found optimal for fish production. This further buttressed by the fact that the area has been an active zone of fish production for ages. This historical perspective is been considered as the baseline in the study for perpetuating the culture of fish and other aquaculture species in the area

    Description: The diversity and microbial load of the micro flora inhabiting the gut sections of captured and the cultured Clarias gariepinus were investigated. The gut contents of the fish were isolated and characterized using standard method. The results of the characterization revealed the presence of bacteria and fungi in the guts of the fish. The bacteria isolated from the captured fish were Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella mobilis, Enterobacter spp, Shigella spp, and Micrococcus varians while Citrobacter spp, Proteus vulgaris, Enterobacter spp, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens and Shigella spp were isolated from the cultured fish.. The fungi isolates found in the gut of the captured fish included, Penicillium chrysogenum, Fusarium spp and Rhizopus stolonifer while Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigates were isolated in the cultured fish. The bacteria count obtained from the fore gut, mid gut and hind gut of the captured fish were; 1.4 x 1O-~B cfu/g, 1.7 x 1O-~B cfu/g and 2.7 x 1O-~B cfu/g while that of cultured fish had 2.8 x 10-~B cfu/g, 2.05 x 10-~Bcfu/g and 2.65 x 10-~Bcfu/g respectively. The spore count of the fungi isolated from the fore gut, mid gut and hind gut of captured fish ranged between 4.0 x 10-~B spore/g and 9.0 x 1O-~B spore/g while the count obtained from the cultured fish ranged between 3.0 x 10-~B and 9.05 x 1O-~B spore/g. The hind gut had the highest number of species and microbial load in both captured and cultured fish than the other region. Though, there was significant difference (P0.05). The results therefore suggest that there is diversity in microbial composition and microbial load in different sections of the gut of cultured and captured fish which may reflect of the environment where they were raised.

    Description: A 2.14M length overall (LOA) flat bottom canoe (punt), was designed and constructed using locally available materials. The features of the canoe are least cost material, light weight, shallow draft and easy maneuverability. The canoe's light displacement (weight empty) was 28kg, which was less.than local canoe of same size. When placed on water a draft of 5.5cm was achieved which is 14.8% of its depth (37cm). The capacity of the canoe was 200kg, and the total production cost of N8, 700.00 which was, not beyond, the reach of an average fisher folks, or any fish farmer. The canoe was easily maneuvered when propelled by paddling as it floated at a shallow draft; this makes the canoe adequate for use on shallow water bodies such as ponds and reservoirs. Such easily maneuvered craft can also be used on pond or reservoirs for recreation which include, sport fishing, canoeing

    Description: The effect of selenium supplementation into diets of Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings was investigated using a completely randomized design with triplicates in a mini-flow through experimental system. 245 fingerlings (mean wt., 1.5~c0.23g) were stocked and fed either normal (Basal) diet (Control group) or diets supplemented with 0.16, 0.24, 0.32 or 0.64 mg sodium selenite Kg-I Selenium addition to the diets and fed to the fish caused a significant increase (P〈0.05) in weight gain and fingerlings growth rate was accelerated by 18-22% compared to 17-18% in the control group. There were significant differences (P〈0.05) in survival rate between treatments, indicating that diets are likely to be responsible for increased survival rate, observed in fish fed diets supplemented with 0.24 and 0.32 mg Na2 Se03 5H2O kg-1 diet. Results indicated that a diet supplemented with, 0.24 and 0.32 mg of sodium selenite Kg-1 diet is important for growth and survival of H. longifilis fingerlings.

    Description: Pawpaw (Carica papaya) seed meal (PSM) was added to a basal diet (350g crude protein and 18.5MJ gross energy lkg diet) at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 g/kg diets and fed to mixed-sex Oreochromis niloticus for 60 days to evaluate the effects on growth, feed conversion ratio, reproduction traits, and histology of gonads. There were no variations (P〉0.05) in growth parameters and feed conversion ratio. Indices of reproduction traits decreased with increasing dietary PSM levels. Fish fed with the basal diet had higher and better indices of reproduction traits (P〈0.05) than the fish fed with PSM diets. Fish fed O.0g PSMlkg diet showed normal testicular and ovarian tissues, and no lesions were observed. Fish fed O.5g PSMlkg diet showed slight increase in interstitial cells in testes. Fish fed 1.0g PSMlkg diet showed swollen spermatids nuclei, increased interstitial cells and focal necrosis in testes; and hydropic degeneration, ruptured follicles, granulomatous inflammation in the insterstitium and necrosis in ovaries. Fish fed 1.5g PSMlkg diet exhibited atrophy of seminiferous tubules in testes. Fish fed 2.0g PSMlkg diet, there was disintegration of spermatids and necrosis in testes and severe atretic follicles in ovaries. Reproduction traits and histological observations of gonads in O. niloticus fed high dietary PSM levels revealed that pawpaw seeds may be effective as a reproduction inhibitor in O. niloticus.

    Description: A 70-day feeding trial was conducted to test the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal by poultry offal in African catfish Clarias gariepinus diets. Four isonitrogenous ration containing various levels (0%, control), 30%, 60% and 90% of poultry offal were fed to three replicate groups of C.gariepinus fingerlings with a mean initial weight of 0.74~c 0.15 g. 10 fish/plastic bowl were tested in 15 I capacity plastic bowl. Mean weight gain of the fingerlings fed the control were higher (2.43~c 0.12g) compared to fish fed 30%, 60% and 90% poultry offal inclusion of Hsh meal (1.99~c 0.08g, 1.84~c0.06g and 1.14~c 0.20g, respectively), but there was no significance difference (P~〈 0.05) in weight gain of fish. There was no significant variation in feed conversion ratios which varied between 0.46~c 0.12 and 0.53~c 0.20 for the control and 90% poultry offal respectively, obtained among the groups. Similarly, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio decreased as the level of poultry offal increased in the diet. It was concluded that the replacement of fish meal with chicken offal meal diet at 30% level will enhance growth performance of Clarias gariepinus

    Description: Three gillnets of 3” (76mm) mesh-size with a dimension of 15m long, 3m depth and hung at 50% of different plies (ply 2,3, and 6) were constructed in the FCFFT New Bussa fish gear workshop and used at Taada fishing ground for fishing operation in Lake Kainji for 30 days. Twelve fish species belonging to five families were caught. The highest relative percentage of number and biomass was recorded by the net of ply 2 because of the high flexibility or softness of the net ply. The statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA), for both numbers and biomass of fish caught showed that plies 2 and 3, 3 and 6 had no significant difference (1)〉0.05) but there was significant difference (1)〉0.05) for plies 2 and 6. It was concluded that ply 2 multifilament gill net had the best efficiency for entangling and catching of fish species in Lake Kainji. It could be concluded that for effective performance and profitable fishing in Lake Kainji, ply 2 multi-filament gillnet should be used.

    Description: Interspecific and intergeneric hybridization studies were carried out in H. longifilis, C. gariepinus and C. anguillaris under controlled hatchery conditions to estimate their aquaculture potential in terms of fertilizability, hatchability and survival. Fertilization rate in all the nine genetic crosses ranges from 60-87.5%, the fertilization rates of the parentals being significantly higher(P〈0.05) with highest value of 87.5% obtained in C. gariepinus. The intergeneric hybrids had the lowest rate of fertilization. Hatchability ranges between 75- 88.1 %, with the parental C. anguillaris being slightly significantly higher than the other genetic combinations. C. anguillaris x H. longifilis I had the lowest hatchability and there was no significant difference (P〈0.05) in percent hatching among the the interspecific hybrids. The survival of all the nine genetic crosses from hatching up to the end of the two weeks indoor rearing period ranges between 78-89%, which wasn't significantly different among the interspecific and intergeneric hybrids. C. anguillaris and C. gariepinus had the highest percent survival which was significantly different from all the other mating combinations. The intergeneric hybrid larval had significantly greater (P〈0.05) length in comparison to the interspecific hybrids. H. longifilis and the hybrids produced from its eggs had greater body weight than that of C. gariepinus and C. anguillaris

    Description: The effect of wood types on the nutrient composition of smoked dried fish was carried out using Citharinus citharus. The wood types used for the experiment were Neem, Parkia and Terminalia. The fish samples were smoked dried to constant weight under the same conditions using the three wood types. Proximate nutrient composition of the fish samples and phytochemical analysis of the wood types was determined. Sensory evaluation on the organoleptic properties of the smoked fish samples was also conducted using a test panel to determine the general acceptability of the fish products in relation to the wood type used. Result of the proximate nutrient composition showed that fish sample smoked dried with Terminalia had the highest percentage of protein followed by that of Parkia. Fat content was highest in the fish sample smoked dried with Neem tree. The result of the phytochemical analysis of the wood types revealed the presence of high levels of tannin in Neem, tannins and phenolic compounds in Parkia. Organoleptic evaluation of the products showed that the fish samples smoked dried with Terminalia had the highest general acceptability.

    Description: The effect of five enclosure colour on the production of Clarias gariepinus fry at post- yolk absorption stage were examined in the indoor hatchery during the first phase of exogenous feeding. A total of 3600 C. gariepinus fry (mean weight, 6.3 ~c 0.00 mg) were stocked into 15,56 litres capacity laboratory plastic bowls. Tank colours evaluated were black, blue, green, white and maroon. Frys were fed on zooplankton ad-libitum. Results indicated that tank colour had significant impact (P〈0.05) on the weight of C. gariepinus fry. However, percentage survival was significantly higher (P 〈 0.05) in black (86.67 %) than in white and maroon (56.67% and 66.67 % respectively). Survival in the black tanks ( 86.67 %) was not significantly different ( P 〉 0.05) than the blue and green tanks treatments but was significantly higher ( P 〉 0.05) than the blue and green tanks treatments. Based on the results, it is obvious that the background enclosure colour has effects on the growth and survival of fry in the indoor rearing system. A general tendency of higher fry growth and survival in dark colour backgrounds was evident. This could have a significant financial impact on commercial fingerlings production of C. gariepinus as fish hatchery operators in Nigeria do not currently take into consideration the colour of tanks use for the rearing of fry in the indoor hatchery.

    Description: Study on the growth and percentage survival of seasonal induced breeding was carried out at the Federal College of Freshwater Fisheries Technology Baga. About 40,414 fingerlings were produced with percentage survival of 81.1 % at water temperature of 28degrees C between April and May, 2009. The average weight of fingerlings produced was 1.54 g with average standard and total length of 3.0 cm and 3.5 cm respectively. However, environmental factors that could hinder mass production of Dutch Clarias fry/fingerlings stocked at low and high stocking densities were monitored for eight weeks at 3.6 m2 indoor concrete tanks with water aeration using flow-through system. The percentage survival of 83.5% and 92.5% were obtained after the period of 8 weeks. The fry/fingerlings were fed with Artemia mixed with powdered feed of 35 % crude protein. The study shows that for Dutch Clarias fry/fingerlings production and management, smaller concrete tanks with flow-through mechanism are required and 3.6 m2 should not be stocked with more than 3,500 fingerlings per tank in the first 8 weeks before transferring them to production ponds. It was observed that apart from efficient water aeration, constant feeding and sampling of fingerlings will increase growth rate, increase resistance to disease and uniformity in size of the Dutch Clarias. The mean water temperature measured in this study ranged from 27.5degrees C in April and 28.5degrees C in May while pH ranged between 7.5 and 7.3 in April and May, respectively.

Structural questionnaires were administered to the fishermen around the reservoir and experiments were carried out in the laboratory to analyze the samples. The results showed that the total viable bacteria count was high(1.02 x 105 cfu/ml) while few Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli occurred insignificantly. The population of S. aureus and E. coli in the fish gills, liver and tissue were insignificant. The results obtained from the physicochemical analysis of the water samples showed that the reservoir has optimum water temperature of 29degreesC ~c 0.25, a pH of 7.70 ~c 0.20, dissolved Oxygen level of 7.20mgO2/1 ~c 0.20 and total hardness of 45.00 mg/ICaC03 ~c 1.05. The microbial load in the fish sample is higher than that in the water sample. Further strict hygienic measures and surveillance is recommended so as to improve the water quality and to avoid deleterious effects on the health of the Iwo inhabitants and its neighboring communities who also benefit from the reservoir.

    Description: Nigeria has potentials for high production of fish from her water bodies. Fishing is the predominant means of fish supply that needs to be increased by fish fanning in different enclosures. Cage aquaculture is possible in several existing water bodies. The essential inputs for a successful fish cage farming therefore need to be considered. This would be an added wealth creation for job seekers/farmers hitherto involved in traditional fishing.

    Description: The study examined women fish processors and marketers around Kainji Lake area. 150 respondents were selected from five fishing communities. The results revealed that 46 and 32 percents of the respondents were engaged primarily in fish processing and marketing to generate income to meet the need of the family. Majority (62%) of the respondents adopted the improved smoking kiln technology while only 22% of them still used the traditional sun-drying method. The prominent problem faced by women fish processors and marketers in the study area include difficulty in accessing credit facilities (rank 1). The chi-square analysis showed a non-significant relationship (P = 0.05) between adoption of improved fish processing technologies and marital (X2 cal = 0.252; X2 tab = 3.841); monthly income X2 cal= 7.815; X2 tab= 2.427) and educational X2cal= 7.815; X2 tab= 2.619) characteristics of the respondents. It is recommended that government should provide the women fish processors and marketers with credit facilities and modem fish processing equipment at subsidized rates.

    Description: This study assessed the relationship between fishmongers and fisherfolks in Monai, Yuna and Fakun fishing villages of Kainji and Jebba Lakes. 20 structured questionnaires were administered in each of the three villages to randomly selected fisherfolks. The study shows that low literacy and poverty level among most of the fisher-folks made them depend on fishmonger by hiring their fishing nets at exorbitant price, this has not allowed them to determine the prices of their catches, hence fishmongers have an influence on the livelihood of the fisher folks and their family.

    Description: The study was carried out to assess the role of women in the fishing activities around the Doma dam fishing community in Nigeria. The study reveals that women participate in all fishing activities and play significant role in family income generation from gear construction, fish catch, transportation, processing to marketing of the fish and fish products. Some limitations were identified in women participation such as some cultural practices, denial to participate in decision making, poor infrastructure and lack of organised markets. Women should be encouraged to freely participate and make decision so as to enhance their finances as it will translate to enhancing the family income.

    Description: Freshly caught mud catfish (Clarias anguillaris) and Tilapia (Oreochromis niloficus) collected from lake Geriyo in Adamawa state were smoked using different Kilns in order to evaluate the efficiency of the Smoking Kilns. The products from Federal university of Technology, Yola (FUTY) Improved Processor (FIP) were of better quality than the Traditional Smoking Drum (TSD). The use of these two processors revealed the profitability to fisher folks. marketers and fish farmers in the utilization of the FIP compared to the TSD as losses incurred was minimal. The qualities of the smoked Clarias anguillaris and Oreochromis niloticus were determined from their various peroxide values obtained after a 28 days storage period. The physi-cochemical parameters of the smoked samples were obtained. Products from FIP were of better quality than the TSD.

    Description: Design characteristics and mode of operation of purse seining off Orimedu fish Port was investigated between August 2007 and February 2008.Tha fish catch composition was also analysed. The purse seine net has the highest number of bundles. The mesh size ranges from 2.5 to 05.0cm.The purse seine net was highly selective fish target specific, catching mostly coastal pelagic fish species. Ten fish species belonging to 5 families were frequently encountered. Total weight of the fish landed was 444.50kg while the average weight of the catch landed per canoe was 30.53kg respectively. Ethmalosa fimbriata (Bonga fish) and Sardinella maderensis (flat sardines) dominated the catch with 2l1.00kg (45.40%) and 143.00(32.10%) by weight of the total catch. Chloroscombrus chrysurus (Atlantic bumper fish), Caranx hippo (Crevail jack), Sphyma couardi (hammer head shark) and Carcharhinus spp.(shark) contributed between 0.33-3.47% ofthe total fish landed by weight. Total length of the fish landed also indicated that the purse seine was highly selective and does not deplete the population of sub-adult's juvenile fish species. Salinity was found to be the most variable factor affecting abundance and subsequent catch of coastal pelagic fishes particularly Ethmalosa fimbriata during the dry season. This study revealed that over fishing of fish stocks may be avoided provided the same fishing pressure observed during this study period is maintained in terms of the number of fishing crafts, number of boat days or fishing and mesh-size of the purse seine fishing gear used.

    Description: A comparative analysis on biochemistry and Polyacryl Amide Gel Electrophresis was carried out to determine the genetic diversity of diploid and triploid Heterobranchus bidorsalis. Sixteen samples of diploid and triploid farm-raised (mean weight; 512.6g and mean length; 41.6cm) were collected and the electrophoresis analysis was conducted using 5.5% Polyacryl Amide Gel and serum protein obtained from the blood of the live samples. 0.06% Coomassie blue was used for staining the gel while a mixture of ratio 1:2 of glacial acetic acid, meethanol and distilled water was used for de-staining the gel. The diploid and triploid possessed an equal total number of 23 electrophoretic protein bands. The molecular phylogenetics of both samples revealed low genetic variability. Results of this study will serve as a baseline analysis on the current genetic diversity of H. bidorsalis in Nigeria.

    Description: Comparative primary production in Little Stream Farms, near Uyo was investigated in relation to physico-chemical parameters of the adjacent perennial stream and the fish ponds. Except for temperature, which showed the same values for both stations, physico-chemical variables generally showed significant difference (P〈O.05) between the pond water and the adjacent stream. Values of silicates, Turbidity (NTU), Secchi Disc Transparency and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) exhibited significantly variable trends (P〈O.05), especially in the stream water, in response to the commercial sand dredging activities upstream from the fann location. Lowest value of stream transparency (O.1M) recorded was during the peak of the sand dredging, whereas the stream water showed absolute transparency in the absence of the dredging. The water quality parameters also exhibited a general trend of significant seasonal variation (P〈O.05). Five phytoplankton families: Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanobacteria, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae occurred in the ponds, while three families, Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanobacteria occurred in the stream. Bacillariophyceae showed the highest relative abundance in both stations A and B.

    Description: A survey of the prices of fish in two major markets in Akure was conducted between October and December 2008 to compare the prices of the imported fishes and that of the farmed catfishes and tilapias. The survey covered the Erekesan and NEPA markets, Akure. Both structured questionnaires and oral interview were used in data collection. The results indicated that the price of farmed catfishes was highest and that that of the tilapias was marginally lower than that of the croaker. This is evidence of better acceptability of the farmed fishes. The summary of the results showed good future for aquaculture in Nigeria, as good markets exist for the produced fishes.

    Description: Nigeria has vast expanse of mangrove ecosystem of about 1 million ha. Presently the total fish production from the artisanal, industrial, and aquaculture sectors is above 635,370 metric tonnes (mt) annually. The current fish demand in Nigeria is 1.66 mt hence leaving a deficit of about 1 mt which translates to about $1.6 billion on importation. Meanwhile, it has been estimated that if only 30-35% of the available mangrove areas suitable for aquaculture is fully harnessed, that the country has the potential to produce over 3 mt of fish annually from the sector. This means that Nigeria will be in a position to produce enough fish for the population and be export orientated too. The paper presents the challenges that militate against sustainable fish production in the mangrove ecosystems and the solutions for improved production.

    Description: The effect of baits, rice bran (Oryza sativa L.) and corn bran (Zea mays L.) on fish aggregation and catch efficiency of castnet in Lake Kainji was conducted. 25.4mm stretched mesh size multifilament (PA) nylon net was used for the construction of castnet. The experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications for nineteen consecutive fishing days. Three treatments were employed; castnetting after baiting with rice bran, with corn bran, and castneting without bait (control). Thirteen fish species were caught from eight families. The number of fish caught was 336, of which 48.5 and 27.1 % were caught with corn bran and without bait while castnetting with rice bran recorded the least (24.4%). The biomass of fish caught was 4627.7g (4.6kg) of which the highest percentages 51.4 and 28.6% followed same trend as that of number of fish caught. Comparison of the overall number and biomass of fish capture indicated that Tilapia zillii ranked highest, followed by Citharinus citharus and Hydrocynus forskalii.

    Description: Forty (40) broodstock of the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus. monodon, comprising of 16 males and 24 females were collected between November and December 2008 from three Nigerian Fishing Companies namely Karflex Fisheries Nigeria Limited, Honeywell Fisheries and ORC Nigeria Limited. The body weight ranged from 72.5 to 300g, total length from 24.0-34.0 cm and carapace length from 8.0-24.5cm. Abdominal length ranged from 10.3 - 16.0 cm, and telson length from 3.0-5.7cm. The stages of ovarian development ranged between 0 and 3.5 while the percentage of sperm carried by the females ranged from 0 to 100%. The broodstock were stocked in the maturation tanks in the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research shrimp hatchery and fed on squid to enhance gonadal development and maturation. Spawning of P. monodon was successfully carried out three times with an estimated production of one to two million nauplii at each spawning. Three hundred and twenty (320) post larvae (PL30) were stocked in concrete tanks for broodstock development. The post larvae have presently attained juvenile stage with average body weight of 16.01g. The availability of broodstock of P. monodon in Nigerian coastal waters will ensure successful hatchery production of post larvae for stocking of ponds leading to the development of shrimp farming.

    Description: This study examined the attitude of fishermen towards extension activities in the lower Kainji Lake Basin, Niger State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select five fishing villages from which 100 fishermen were drawn for the study. Structured questionnaire was developed in lined with the objectives to obtain information from respondents. Data collected were analyzed using frequencies and % counts. Majority (52%) of the fishermen was in their prime age and 57% had completed one formal education or the other. It also indicated that 67% had 〉20 years experience in fishing activities, 40% use gill nets that gave 95% of respondents fishing gear maintenance job. About 64% of respondents reported irregular extension visits though 72% perceived extension service to be useful and that information on fisheries were obtained from the research institute (57%) which enhanced the income of 65% of the fisherfolks. Recommendations were made on how to enhance extension delivery and adoption in the lake.

    Description: A shrimp hatchery for the breeding of the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon was constructed by the Nigeria Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research in 2008 by the reconstruction of an existing old shrimp hatchery. The new shrimp hatchery comprises of the following: water treatment, water storage, broodstock maturation, spawning/incubation, nursery and micro-algae units. The design included the construction of a concrete sump for the collection and treatment of wastewater before disposal, in addition to an aeration unit equipped with root blower for adequate supply of dissolved oxygen. The reconstructed NIOMR shrimp hatchery has been successfully used for the production of post larvae, which are presently being reared to adult shrimp in concrete tanks. The successful completion of the shrimp hatchery and breeding of P. monodon has confirmed that the species can be spawned and reared to adult size in Nigeria for local and export markets.

    Description: A study on contribution of information channels to adoption of aquaculture technologies was carried out in Baga area of Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. A total of 144 respondents were sampled with questionnaire in 2008 to generate data which was analyzed with descriptive statistical tools. Contact methods constitute the dominant sources of information to fish farmers while mass methods are grossly under utilized. Extension agents and State ADP championed information dissemination to respondents to attain 67.8% adoption. However, information were found to be less effective to meet fish farmers need for high productivity, thus creating doubt on reliability and accuracy of information. By implication, both fish farmers and EAs need training to improve their knowledge on aquaculture technologies. It entails strengthening linkage between fisheries research and extension for active participation in MTRM and FNT for easy access to information and practical knowledge. This should be supported by public-private partnership for promotion and sponsorship of aquaculture technologies in the mass media with other ICTs like tape. YCD, YHS. GSM for effective coverage and service delivery to fish farmers.

    Description: Simultaneous paired fishing comparison of modified codend against conventional codend was done with shrimp beam trawl in near shore sea off Lagos.The modified codend was designed to reduce by-catch and was made by incorporating square mesh panel at anterior bunt. Results showed that the square mesh codend significantly reduced the by-catch of juvenile fishes up to 39.35% (T-test, P 〈 0.05; 0.01) with no significant loss (2.9%) in the quantity of the target shrimps Nematopalaemon hastatus (P 〉 0.05; 0.01). Commercially important by-catch species having a total length of 11-30cm were retained by the square mesh codend, while those with total length of 4-10cm were reduced eg; Pseudotolithus elongatus (43.96%, P 〈 0.05, 0.01), P. senegalensis (49.03%, P 〈 0.05; 0.01), P. typus (36.29%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), llisha africana (39.09%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), Pentanemus quinquarius (41.02%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), Galeoides decadactylus (48.80%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), Lutjanus dentatus (48.98%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), Drepane africana (43.13%, P〈 .0.5;0. 01), Chloroscombrus chrysurus (55.29%, P〈 0.05; 0.01), and Selene dosalis (34.60%, P〈 0.05; 0.01). At family level, reduction in the number of 8 out of 13 important by-catch families analyzed were significant, e.g.; Clupeidae, Trichiuridae, Sciaenidae, Serranidae, Polynemidae, Carangidae and Lutjanidae (P〈 0.05; 0.01). The number of flattened fishes (Cynoglossus senegalensis), Spinous fishes (Arius latiscutatus), shell fishes with morphometric body protection (Callinectes amnicola) were not significantly reduced (P〉 0.05).

    Description: The physico-chemical parameters of Lake Alau were monitored for four months to assess the water quality. Parameters such as temperature, transparency, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, Ca, P, etc were studied in five stations (A, B, C, D and E). Water samples were collected monthly from 8:00 to l2:00noon, for four months (July - October 2008, wet season) and analysed. The physico-chemical parameters were within the ranges of unpolluted water bodies. Variation occurs in almost all the months of the study. Significant difference (P〈0.05) occurred in pH, transparency and Ca among the stations, and insignificant difference (P〉0.05) in temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, Mg and P. These variations may be due to effects of fertilizer application, herbicides and insecticides in irrigated farms around the Lake.

    Description: This study aims at bridging the knowledge gap in respect of production and marketing of crab fisheries in Lagos lagoon complex of Lagos State, Nigeria. The data have been collated through specific survey carried out between August 2008 and April 2009 in each of the five lagoon systems of Lagos State including Badagry, Ologe, Lagos, Epe and Lekki lagoon. The production systems and targeted clientele of each lagoon differ greatly. The profit margin per unit weight retained at each stage of transaction was relatively low. The crab fishery was observed to be economically viable because of the large turnover and small size of individual operations. The crabs plays significant role in the livelihood of the fisher folks and are very important as export commodity in West Africa.

    Description: A growth trial of Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon galilaeus fingerlings in floating plastic cages was carried out for 180 days. O. niloticus (mean wt., 75 ~C 0.50g) and S. galilaeus (mean wt., 36.40~c 1.80g) were stocked at 250 fish fingerlings/m3. The study was conducted in four 2x2xl m plastic cages with two replicate cages for each treatment. A 25% protein balanced diet was used as feed. The mean weight gain ranged from 0.33 to 0.91g/day while the mean final weight ranged from 60.0g to 162.00g for O. niloticus and S. galilaeus, respectively. Total fish production ranged from 15.90 to 16.00kg/m3. The highest survival (100%) was obtained in 0. niloticus while the lowest (98.4%) was obtained in S. galilaeus. The major constraint in the study was the inadequacy of suitable fingerlings size for stocking the plastic cages.
